A total waste of money..A total rip-off Very desappointed
By Very on 09/29/2014
I click 1 star, because it doesn't allow me to let it blank, but this product is not worth even 1 star...First of all it does not kill any roach, spider or whatsoever, not counting it says will continue killing for over 90 days. I used more than the amount suggested on the bottle, meaning made it 4x stronger it was just like water for the roaches they continuing crawling over it. It has been past 3 weeks since I applied and reapplied the following week and nothing happened I still have roaches. Bought raid and combat and these since to be working better... I definitely don't recommend this product. A total rip-off. For what I paid more than 36 dollars, I could bought a great deal of reliable insecticide.
Expert response:
Because Cy-Kick CS is a residual, microencapsulated insecticide, it will not kill pests immediately on contact. You also should only mix products according to the labeled directions: using too much concentrate can be unsafe and will not produce the desired results.
Most over-the-counter products provide a quick kill only, but they offer no residual protection. Also, for roach control, you will need also to use a roach bait gel and an Insect Growth Regulator in conjunction with good sanitation practices.

Very Disappointed
By Sandy on 04/09/2013
Verified Purchase
I used this product repeatedly for over a month with no results at all. I even increased the recommended dosage by an ounce, still no results. I will not buy this again, and would not recommend it. Would not have even given it one star, but that's the lowest rating this would accept.

Does not kill roaches reliably
By Michael on 08/21/2013
Verified Purchase
Cy kick-cs (cyflurthrin) Does not kill roaches reliably (Los Angeles- summer, 2013). I used this inside on rental apartments and in my own home to control roaches. I watched a professional work, then ordered my own bottle, DoMyOwnPest control.com was very prompt in shipping. I read directions, mixed as directed, cleaned out all kitchen cabinets and bath cabinets and sprayed as directed. Some roaches were killed, but many kept right on crawling. Raid would instantly kill the roaches that Cy-kick did not affect. Less than one week later the roaches were back in full force. Maybe they have developed resistance. This product did not work in my situation

Not the Same!

I have used Cy-Kick CS in past years and always had great results, well not anymore! Don't know if they changed the formula or what, but it isn't controlling any of the pest it normal does. Carpenter Ants are basically laughing every time I spray and I have Sprayed 3x's as much this year and zero results! Will not be purchasing ever again....sad!

No evidence that it worked
By Kevin on 09/20/2016
I've used anther product to kill Spyder and Scorpions. After spraying I have seen dead and mostly dead bugs. After spraying CY Kick CS, I noticed no dead bugs or sick bugs after the spraying. But we have found live bugs that appeared fine and unaffected. Until they were promptly smashed.

Ants
By Laurie on 09/24/2016
Have a ant problem!!! Tried cy kick, 3 application still have ants!!! Mixed 2 oz. per gallon in pump up sprayer, no luck
Expert response:
We apologize you did not receive the expected results! Ants can be a tough pest to eliminate because their colonies can be massive (depending on the species) and only the ants that contact treated areas will be killed. The problem with this is that ants typically only send about 20% of the colony out at a time. The rest are safe back at the nest.Cy-Kick is a great product to use if you know where the colony is and can spray it directly or do a mound drench. Please take a few moments to read our Ant Control Guide to learn how to implement a successful ant control program:

Mixed like it said to mix even doubled the mix and nothing will not buy again
Expert response:
Cy-Kick CS may be mixed at 1 oz./gallon of water or 2 oz./gal. of water for clean-out treatments. If you've mixed the product stronger than labeled, you may not see the desired results.

review
By Larissa on 03/23/2017
This staff is not working. Ive read that it should create a barrier and paralyze cockroaches nerve system when they touch it.. guess what.. i was spraying directly on them... and nothing happened... i spray all my place with this staff, no result.. WAIST of money. I even thought to ask my money back.
Expert response:
Thank you for your comments! While CyKick CS is a very popular insecticide spray for roach control, we would not recommend it as the only product that you use to treat an active roach infestation. Since CyKick CS also continues to work after the spray has dried, it can take several minutes to several hours for an insect to die after contacting the active ingredient. Please take a few moments to review our Roach Treatment Guide which includes tips, videos, and product recommendations for how to implement a successful roach treatment program:

We also sell Roach Control Kits that contain the combination of products that we recommend to use together to eradicate a roach population:

nasty smell, roches don't care
By Zee on 09/25/2016
I have been spraying kitchen several times for roach problem- no way- they don't care Product excellent for ants
Expert response:
We apologize the product did not work up to your expectations. Roaches can be tough to control with an insecticide alone. Cy-Kick is a great product to use as part of your roach control program but other products and practices must be included to achieve the needed results.

Does not work on roaches in Florida
By Florida on 10/13/2014
Bought this product with very high expectations after seeing the 5 star reviews. However, it has been a week since I used the spray to treat areas inside the home and have not seen a difference. Have yet to see a dead roach, rather still many live ones crawling around. Perhaps the roaches in Florida areas have developed immunity to this product. Unfortunately, I cannot return the product after its opened....
Expert response:
We are happy to discuss the use of Cy-Kick CS and other products for your roach control. We do recommend using a roach bait gel and an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) in addition to residual sprays for a complete roach control treatment. See our article How To Get Rid of Roaches for more tips: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/how-to-get-rid-of-german-roaches-a-245.html

Lack of performance
By Albert on 10/01/2020
Still have roaches
By Djordge on 08/28/2022
I still have lots of roaches after carefully applying the product.
Expert response:
Cy-Kick CS is a great product and will do a great job towards helping you to get rid of roaches. For best results, we also recommend that you use a roach bait gel to help get rid of roaches in places where you cannot spray, along with an insect growth regulator (IGR) which helps stop the roaches breeding cycle. You may want to consider using one of our Roach Control Kits, as they contain all of these products together. Pets and people need to be kept out of the area while products are being applied, but can return as soon as all surfaces are fully dry. Please take a moment to look over our article on How to Get Rid of Roaches for more information on how to do a complete treatment for roaches.
